Merry Christmas Eve, everybody! What a long day yesterday was. I did a few update posts yesterday, and the only highlight was that I got to fly first class to Atlanta. If you've never been through the Atlanta Airport then you probably don't know that the whole place is one big cluster fuck, which is why originally I had been happy to be able to miss it. I should have known I'd end up there anyway.
Anyway, this post is really all about the picture above. You see, my friend who passed away had a special affinity for nutcrackers. Since he was a kid, he'd loved nutcrackers. I had planned it to be a tradition to give him a nutcracker each year for Christmas, but sadly I want able to give him one this year. I will always love him and miss him, but I missed him a little less yesterday. He knew I was terrified of flying, and it seemed like he was with me the whole way home. From the moment I stepped on the first of the two planes I flew on yewterday, it seemed like,he we right there with me and doing his best to keep me calm.

The Lord has given you one of the most marvelous gift in life: making your future better with a new job and location.
He also made you experience a BIF lost but he surely have a purpose to that. You'll find out in the future: nothing on life is without purpose..
I'm in Quebec city at mom's home: did some cooking with her (88yo).
The big Christmas party will be at my sister's place which is in the same neighborhood. Always some very emotional mo0ments in family.
Take care !
PS.- We have some rain and a big 60°F... There are even some golf courts that are opened around Montreal... The ski stations are «freeking» and not more are open: only 10%...
On of the warmer Dec.24th since 1955...

I'm glad you made it home to Alabama safely. It's good to hear that you felt your friend with you helping you along the way. Enjoy the time with family. And, there's a saying that you go through part of h*** when you go through the Atlanta airport. LOL. Merry Christmas Joe!!!
Dan, if you do, you know he was one of the most wonderful and caring people I have ever known. I love him and I've missed him so much today. There have been numerous times that I have been close wishing that he was still with us.
